The Kansas City Electronic Music and
Arts Alliance opens its 2010-11 season with a concert feturing
Clarinetist Mauricio Salguero
alongside electronic audio and video. The program entitled
electro<>acústico is the result of Mauricio's collaboration with
several Kansas City area composers. Mauricio will present world premieres of
pieces written specifically for him by composers Rodolfo Acosta, Andrew
Cole, Jason Bolte and Eric Honour plus pieces by Jorge Sosa and Mark
Snyder. The program combines a cutting edge mix of video, electronic
sounds and high tech with the emotional intensity and technical
dexterity of Mauricio’s playing. Guest artist Rebecca Ashe on the flute
will join Mauricio on Asha Srinivasan´s Bapu; an exciting piece based
on Indian traditional music. Later this month Mauricio and Christopher
Biggs will tour Universities in Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Missouri
presenting this riveting recital.
Mauricio Salguero is currently a DMA candidate at the University of
Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) Conservatory of Music under the guidance of
Jane Carl. Mauricio plays clarinet and saxophone and teaches at the
UMKC Community Academy. His musical interests span diverse genres,
including contemporary, classical and Latin music. Critics have praised
him as having "conviction and impressive technique,” and this fall he
will perform a full recital of pieces for clarinet and electronics
written for him on a tour to colleges in Missouri, Iowa, Illinois and
Wisconsin.
Mauricio was one of the winners of the Artist Presentation Society
Auditions-2010, and will be performing on their 2010-11 concert series.
Mauricio's honors include a 2010 Inspiration Grant from the KCArts
fund, the First Prize in the National Contest of Musical Composition
from the Institute of Culture and Tourism City of Bogotá, Colombia, the
Bettylou Scandling Hubin Scholarship in both World Music and Music
Technology from Mu Phi Epsilon and the Spaulding/Warfield Memorial
Scholarship from Sigma Alpha Iota. In 2008 he received the Preparing
Future Faculty Fellowship from UMKC, a competitive program that focuses
on college teaching, and he was recently featured in the recorded
release of Stephen Yip's "Gorintou” on the album Mosaic (Capstone
Records, 2010).
Mauricio has appeared as a soloist with the Universidad Javeriana
Orchestra, the University of Arkansas Wind Symphony and recently played
Frank Martin’s Concerto for Seven Instruments with the Symphonic
Orchestra of the UMKC Conservatory of Music. He has also performed at
ClarinetFest 2008 and 2010. He holds a B.M. from the Universidad
Javeriana in Bogotá, Colombia, and a M.M. from the University of
Arkansas-Fayetteville. His previous teachers include Nophachai
Cholthitchanta, Chris Jepperson and Javier Vinasco.

“When
you think of electronic music, boops and beeps might come to mind.
Synthesizer-heavy new wave. Tinny video game themes. But listen
to the work of the Kansas City Electronic Music Alliance, a co-op of
composers, musicians — sometimes even performance artists — that
promotes experimental electronic music in the area. You might be
surprised by the music’s emotionality, its sonic richness, its absolute
abstract nature.”
